it’s a small (cruel) world.

not that i need to tell you, right? after a slew of “thanks, but no thanks” emails from different companies, i have turned my eye to part-time employment. two “half jobs” make a whole. this makes sense to me…my mom is a math teacher. (she is also hungry a blog shout-out…consider yourself shouted at). 

my quest to become employable brought me to sherberth ave. there, on sherberth i lost the shred of dignity i still had. behind animal kingdom, i was herded, paraded and forced to perform. this is was not a county fair, and i am not an award winning cow. this was disney character audition day. i had gone back and forth deciding whether to go or not. my usual advice is that wavering on wanting something means you don’t want it. sometimes our own advice is lost on ourselves. 

some of you might know me for my dance moves. i’m sure they are the topic of a few casting directors’ dinner tables this evening. but not in a good way. i love to drop it like its hot just as much as the next person, but choreography is not always as enjoyable. while “it’s a small world” (remixed) played overhead, my short term memory failed me. the choreography i just learned escaped me. so i ended up doing a variation of a gallup from one side of the room to the other, smiling and waving, watching my self-respect fly out the door and noticing casting directors pass my file to the end of the table very quickly.

such is life…you can’t have it all. honestly, i am most upset to not get a free annual pass. that’s all i really wanted. by the way…i did get a job at banana republic. i might not be dressing up as a mouse for work, but it should suffice.
